newest movies in the cinema. All cities in the region have their own cinema. You can get a good
overview of which cinemas showing what, and a description of the movies on kino.dk. If you are into Cafés and meeting friends, colleagues you could use official information from the organization Visit Roskilde providing information on top cafés, restaurants and sights in Roskilde.
